You are Casper Whyte, a young man who has just settled within Moreau City, a quiet little metropolis that houses Moreau Zoo, the place in which you'll be working for the next thirty-days, because apparently the owner is behind on his taxes.
It'll be your job to prevent your new place of work from being demolished by paying off the 50000$ that is owed to the city hall. Of course your salary from the zoo won't allow for such a thing, thus you'll need to find alternate means to pay the cash you need. Thankfully, Moreau City has a plethora of odd jobs for you to take, some legal, while others are quite less so.
Be careful though, because lurking within the shadows of the city are a number of...complications, ranging from gangs, to assassins, to monsters, to even the military itself. All of them having agendas, the likes of which could throw the city upside down onto its head.
Thankfully, your history will allow you to shoulder the burdens that these complications bring; you can choose one of three stories to act out, each granting you specific skills, weapon, armor, and advantages.
All the while working towards this goal, you'll come across four individuals who will find themselves in need of your strength, compassion, and wisdom in order to keep them from falling into the hands of despair/destruction.
The jaguar has been taken away from everything he knows at the hands of humans who didn't understand what he was, and so will look to your strength to settle the rage within his soul.
The quilin left home after feeling himself useless, thus he will seek out your kindness to protect his fragile heart from being torn asunder when his forgotten duty comes to claim him.
The monkey committed a sin for which could threaten the physical and spiritual world, and only you right the wrong for which he has made, while at the same time shouldering the pain lodged deep within his mind.
The bat is a hellspawn whose master seeks his return. Can you protect him? Should you protect him? That choice will be yours, though it will cost you your own soul to do so.
In return for aiding these men, you will gain their affection and a happy ending with one of them, but only if you save the zoo before your time runs out!!
